Well done to our employability participants for competing their personal development phase of PEACE III programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body and delivered by the Lisburn-Castlereagh PEACE III Partnership. The first phase of the project has been both challenging and rewarding with the group now working towards OCR Ready Steady Work.
Once again young people from the Colin area demonstrate their commitment and dedication on completing an intensive eight week drug & alcohol programme. The community based intervention had been funded through Department of Justice Criminal Confiscation funds. Twelve young people aged 14-17 attended Sally Gardens each Sunday evening which offered an alternative to hanging around the local area. The project focused on highlighting the impact drug & alcohol misuse can have on the local community, family and friends.
